How Jacqueline uses therapy approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people notice why they react a certain way in close relationships and practice different responses. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. It often involves concrete exercises and small experiments between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation and practical coping skills like distress tolerance and mindful awareness for intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She checks in as treatment progresses and adjusts techniques so they are useful and manageable.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills from their own routines and apply strategies to real-world moments between appointments.
